When it comes to splicing a haul rope, my confidence goes up when the guy in charge with the hammer is an older guy with a European accent. No major issues with Lumpy - all components are inspected at regular intervals. The rope hasn't stretched much either in 15 years, but it was recommended that the splice be redone now, to avoid more expensive issues down the road.
Nice to reconnect with Julian. He has been here on several occasions and asked about Matt, Russell and Kevin.
A video to the tune of "Pop goes the weasel" would be good to show the guys walking in circles moving the cable strands and keeping them off the ground.
